Jack Dorsey:

This is a tool I've been using for a few months– it's very, very simple, but extremely effective in changing patterns in your behavior and changing patterns in your life, and it's a very simple concept, which is "dos and don'ts." So open the notepad on your device, the note app, create a new note, and title it "daily." So every day, "daily." Go down two lines and type the word "Do" and then colon, and then go down two more lines and type the word "Don't" and then colon. And then it's up to all of you to figure out what goes in the dos and don'ts.

The dos I've found to be really, really easy to write. It's the don'ts that are the hard ones, and the trick that I've learned to fill out the don'ts is to simply recognize when I'm doing something that I don't want to do again, and I add it to this list.

So wherever you put this, make it somewhere that you see every single day. You check in the morning, you check midday, you check in the evening, and you just run through mentally everything that you wanted to do every day and if you actually did it, and everything you want to stop doing and if you actually stopped doing it.

Why is this important from a personal level? If I can do this as an individual, then I can do this with my company; if I can do this for me, I can do this for my team.
